306 Prepare for evacuation
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Lord of the Northland was wearing a black, gold-rimmed, tight-line mage robe, on which different Nether characters faintly appeared. Before he could get closer, Gordon could feel the powerful magic fluctuations on the mage's robes—at least a legendary piece of magical equipment.
Leaving behind the solemn and majestic dress that was more practical than practical in the past, Robb came to the Fortress of Sevato. Grand Duke Antelo, fully armed. In addition to the strong ** robe on his body, he did not carry the platinum scepter that symbolized the authority of the Grand Duke, but wore a light sword.
When he was young, the lord ventured into the western wilderness, communicating with spirits and living with Yaling. His swordsmanship was learned in the Yaling Spiral Tower, which towered over the vast wasteland, and was elegant and deadly.
Looking at the Scepter Lord's fully armed appearance, Gordon naturally understood the severity of this orc invasion.
"Uncle Antelo, our mission is accomplished!" The two golden dragon boys walked up to the Grand Duke with a grin and stretched out their palms.
"Loranitis, Kanizalas, you two guys...... I've already paid your father, so why are you coming to me? ”
"You know my father's miser's temper." The golden dragon boy pouted helplessly, "In order to decorate his and his mother's dragon nest, he won't even give us a single gold coin." Besides, you're just asking us to stop the orcs, but setting up a teleportation circle is extra work, and isn't it a matter of course to pay for it? ”
Standing in the distance, Gordon watched Archduke Antello take out two rubies from his pocket with a wry smile and throw them to the two golden dragon boys, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Dogs can't change eating, dragons can't change greed for money, this is the so-called biological nature." ”
The two golden dragon boys took the ruby and left happily. And the two adult golden dragons hovering in the sky. See Rob. Antello arrives and also lands on the ground.
The huge air flow from the dragon wings made many people unbearable, and the little girl Yashna let out an "oops" and ran behind Gordon to hide.
In a burst of flying sand and rocks, the white light of the two huge golden dragons flashed and turned into human shapes.
The male golden dragon looked to be in his thirties, with a long golden comb combed into a meticulous back, and his facial features were impeccably perfect, even comparing to a rare beautiful man like Derlington. But those golden eyes are full of arrogance and self-restraint, which makes people feel unapproachable.
The female golden dragon appears to be about five years younger than her partner. She is also very good-looking, and standing with her husband can only make people unable to even be jealous, and can only sigh at the partiality of the Creator. However, her temperament is more approachable, although she has always been quiet. But that motherly smile is still intoxicating.
"Rob, you pay enough for us to help you for half a month. For the sake of our many years of friendship. Forget it today, it will be charged from tomorrow. If nothing else, we'll go first. If those green-skinned bugs dare to make trouble, feel free to call us......"
The male golden dragon explained to the Lord of Wands, and then left the crowd with his family. Unlike the Bronze Dragon, which likes to deal with humans, the Golden Dragon does not like places where there are too many people. But when this noble and cold family of four passed by Gordon's side. The male golden dragon suddenly stopped.
He looked at Gordon with his own eyes that looked like molten gold, and whispered, "You have ...... on you Strange, really strange, Lord Bahamut's thoughts. It's unpredictable as always......"
Muttering to himself, the male golden dragon made a movement that made everyone around him almost drop their jaws. He leaned forward slightly towards Gordon and bowed before stepping away.
The arrogant golden dragon, the golden dragon with his chest held high even in the face of the human king, would actually salute a little baron, a young mage?
Except for Rob, who knew that Gordon held the Seal of Platinum. Aside from Antelo and Renus, the others couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
Jin Long, a woman who seemed to have a more gentle personality, smiled faintly at Gordon, and then her husband and wife also saluted Gordon.
"Big brother, goodbye." Two golden dragon boys named Loranitis and Canizalas beckoned to Gordon and left after their parents.
Being called a big brother by two "little kids" who are at least 100 years older than me is really a wonderful experience.
After the four members of the Golden Dragon family left, all the eyes were on Gordon.
It's okay, Rob. Antelo pulled him out of this uncomfortable gaze just in time.
"Gordon, come with me."
Seeing Gordon and the Scepter Lord walking into a barracks that had not collapsed, it seemed that there was something to discuss, and the others dispersed. But Drington stood still, staring at Gordon's back.
The conflict just now, the scene of having to compromise and retreat because of the appearance of Gordon, is still vivid. Coupled with the events of the aristocratic assembly not long ago, Drington was even more in his throat. I thought that I had caught important information about Gordon's collusion with the undead, but who knew that before that, the other party actually took the lead and defeated Earl Thompson.
The feeling of clenching his fists but having nowhere to swing his fists made Drington feel that everything was not going well for a long time, and the hatred for Gordon in his heart became stronger and stronger.
In the Cold Mist Mountains, when he first met Gordon, because Gordon was able to communicate with Rob. Talking to Antello alone made Delrington wary of him, believing that he was the biggest obstacle to his pursuit of Faria. Now, in this Sevato Fortress, after the fierce battle, the Lord of Scepters did not first meet with the commander of the fortress defenders, did not meet with the leader of the Templar Order, Viscount Demon, and did not meet with himself, the great hero who reinforced the fortress in time and repelled the orcs, but chose to talk to Gordon first, which made Dellington very unbalanced.
"Gordon. Freeman. After this war, I will become a household name hero in the whole of Ferredon, and you will only be reduced to a pile of bones and buried in this barren and cold land! Drington stared at Gordon, the hatred in his heart as if it could be condensed into the deadliest poison juice......
"What the hell is going on in the dungeon, I need to know the details." Got into the hut, Rob. Antello immediately asked.
Gordon told the Lord of Scepter in detail about his life since he first entered the dungeon—of course, the Grail of Titus' blood, and Renus, all of which were skipped.
"You've done a good job. Even I wouldn't have expected that the cultist from Zantaba would be so crazy that he would sacrifice himself to activate the circle. Judging from the current situation, it is not particularly bad, because of your efforts, at least you have bought five days for the entire Far Frost Province to gather troops. ”
If it is really as planned by the Three Holy Baptist Church, the legendary earthquake technique will move without compromise and destroy the entire Anduin Wall, and then the orc army can completely drive straight in, and be able to camp outside Princess Marlene Castle tonight. But now, they still haven't crossed the broken Great Wall defenses.
"What are we going to do now?"
Rob. Antello said in a deep voice, "Retreat." Do your best to preserve the living forces, and send small forces to harass the orc army to delay their advance, and then gather forces in High Rock for a decisive battle. ”
This is the plan that Grand Duke Antelo came up with after consulting with several generals, and synthesized the current form. Even if the battle at High Rock is lost, the worst outcome will be the fall of the entire Northlands, at least to buy time for reinforcements from the center of the empire and other provinces.
Of course, it would be best if you could defeat the enemy at High Rock Castle.
"Can you hold on to the Great Wall of Anduin for a few more days? This would buy more time for the rear to gather forces. I think that if you use spells like turning mud into stone, stone shaping, and stone walls, you should be able to repair the gap in the Great Wall of Anduin that collapsed. ”
Grand Duke Antello shook his head: "The walls that were temporarily built with spells are far less powerful than the materials of the Great Wall itself. If the enemy attacks in a concentrated manner, it won't last long. The reason why you were able to hold the fortress today was because the enemy was in a hurry to move south and was taken by surprise. Although the orcs are backward in engineering and cannot make too strong siege equipment, don't forget that they have the support of the Three Holy Baptists. Those cultists must have a secret weapon that has not yet been revealed. ”
The five fortresses defending the Great Wall of Anduin had a total of 2,500 border guards. These experienced soldiers were at least far more effective than the private armies of the nobles and the peasants who were temporarily conscripted. In order to gather as many forces as possible, the Grand Duke had to hurry up and remove them from the already undefendable Wall of Anduin, rather than throwing them into a senseless war of attrition.
Ugru today. The morale of the Iron Claw's army was hit by a blow, so they chose to be cautious and temporarily retreat to repair. This is the best time for humanity to retreat, and when this war warlord comes to his senses, I am afraid it will not be so easy to escape.
"I'll arrange for the mage group to perform illusions to confuse enemy scouts. Tonight, all staff were evacuated. As for you, I think you've been through so many battles that you've reached your limit. You don't need to worry about the war for the time being, so rest well after entering High Rock Castle. There are even tougher battles ahead of us. ”
"Of course, sir." Gordon nodded.
He was about to go out, when he suddenly remembered the four golden dragons who had a special attitude towards him, so he asked, "My lord, where did those four golden dragons come from?" Is it reliable? They are probably the most important help for us in this war. ”
Gordon's so-called "reliable" is certainly not the fear that the golden dragon will betray Ferreton and throw himself into the enemy's camp. This is impossible for the orderly and kind Golden Dragon. He was just worried that if these arrogant creatures had strange tempers and acted arbitrarily at critical moments and didn't listen to orders, then something could go wrong. (To be continued......)
